If you plan on taking a holiday to Victoria Australia, one of the most popular tourist spots to visit outside of Melbourne is Ballarat. It does get a bit cooler than Melbourne, so take some warm clothes! One of the biggest festivals in Ballarat is their Winter Festival. Here they decorate laneways with colourful lights and have a pop up ice skating ring just off Sturt Street. One of the biggest events though is the Winter Wonderlights at Sovereign Hill. I’ll show more of this in the video guide to Ballarat.
In this video I will show you some of the best things to do in Ballarat for a family, couple or even solo traveller.
This is a list of Ballarat’s top tourist attractions
10. Ballarat Wildlife Park
The park was opened in 1987 and covers some 37 acres of natural bushland. If you want to see some natural Australian animals, Ballarat Wildlife Park has plenty, from free roaming kangaroos and emus – where you can hand feed these cute Australian animals. Learn about koalas on one of the guided tours. Get a selfie with a wombat. Watch Tasmanian devils getting fed. See giant tortoises, crocodiles and alligators. And of course the meerkats! Check out the reptile enclose for snakes and lizards. A great place to take the whole family in Ballarat.
9. Museum of Australian Democracy at Eureka
The Eureka Flag is housed on the historic site of the 1854 Eureka Stockade and is surrounded by the scenic Eureka Stockade Memorial Gardens.
8. The Art Gallery of Ballarat.
If you’re an art lover, this is the place to visit in Ballart. It holds both temporary and permanent art works.
7. Gold Museum of Ballarat.
Gold is what made this town and this museum gives a fascinating insight to Ballarat’s gold rush. If you buy a ticket to Sovereign Hill, you will get the ticket included to the museum.
6. Lake Wendouree.
This is a lovely spot to visit in Ballarat – enjoy a stroll around the lake, stop of one of the cafes or just enjoy the lovely gardens of the Botanic Gardens in Ballarat. Highlights to visit are the Prime Ministers Avenue, Adam Lindsay Gordon Cottage, the Australian Ex- Prisoner of War Memorial, the Ballarat Tramway Museum (try to take a tram ride by Lake Wendouree) and the 1956 Olympic Memorial.
5. Ballarat Ghost Tour.
With Ballarat having the reputation of being one of Australia’s most haunted cities why night take a ghost tour of Ballarat at night. Eerie Ghost tours operates a weekend ghost tour of Ballarat. Meet under the clock tower at Ballarat Railway Station for a spooky 2 hour walking ghost tour. Visit haunted spots and listen to ghost stories by the guide. A fun way to see Ballarat.
4. Ballarat Heritage Tours.
Take one of this walking tours of Ballarat, learn about this history of the city and its famous landmarks. Taken by an experienced guide who is extremely knowledgeable about Ballarat history.
3. Bloody Ballarat Tour.
Take this tour of the dark side of Ballarat – true tales of murder and crime that you don’t learn in your history books. A fantastic tour you should do in Ballarat. The tours run at night.
2. Kryal Castle.
One of the more popular things to do in Ballarat, especially for the family is Kryal Castle. Built as medieval castle just outside of town. Fun things to see the knights at the Tournament Arena. Here they joust on horseback and even sword fight. Watch the wizard make potions in his workshop. Visit the Torture Museum or get lost in the castle’s maze. There are places to eat and you can even stay overnight at one of their rooms. I will do another video on accommodation at Kryal Castle. Prices are listed on the website.
1/ Sovereign Hill
Without a doubt the number one tourist attraction in Ballarat is Sovereign Hill. It has been voted Australia’s best ‘Major Tourist Attraction’ multiple times. A theme park set back as an 1850’s gold mining town. Learn to pan for gold in a replica river. Go underground on some the gold mining tours. Watch people preforming chores dressed in period costumes. See how they make candy the old way. Some other popular attractions at Sovereign Hill include the Red Coat Soldiers musket firing, horse and coach rides, bowling, candle making, getting and old photo taken and other street activities. A great place to take the whole family - a great educational experience for kids to learn about history.
During Winter Sovereign Hill has its Winter Wonderlights Festival. This is a specular light show – that for me is a must do in Ballarat. The lights and snow effects make this truly a wonderful show to experience. During the festival they decorate Main Street shops with Christmas decorates, have a band playing Christmas Carols and you might even see Santa. One of the best Christmas in July events in Australia! A must for the family!
Ticket prices are listed on the website.

Fracking explained in five minutes.
Fracking is a controversial topic. On the one side the gas drilling companies, on the other citizen opposed to this drilling method. Politicians are also divided on the matter.
We try to take a neutral look on fracking. It is relevant for all of us, because of high prices for energy and the danger for our drinking water.
This video focuses mostly on the debate currently ongoing in europe. In a lot of european countries there is a public outcry against fracking, espacially in germany. But the facts in this video are relevant to all of us.
Short videos, explaining things. For example Evolution, the Universe, Stock Market or controversial topics like Fracking. Because we love science.
We would love to interact more with you, our viewers to figure out what topics you want to see. If you have a suggestion for future videos or feedback, drop us a line! :)

Nigeria may sit atop one of the largest oil reserves in the world, but the majority of the Nigerian people have seen little benefit from the multibillion-dollar industry. The government and global energy companies have been exploiting the resource for years, bringing poverty, pollution, and violence to the Niger Delta. And now the local militias fighting for oil control have made conditions even worse.
Caught in the conflict are Nigerian citizens involved in the illegal oil market simply for survival. Oil theft is rampant, and the booming black market has transnational oil and gas consultants concerned about the effects on global oil markets. The government isn't too happy about it either.
“All the oil that is sold around here, the government calls illegally refined products,” local oil businessman Don Wizaro told VICE News. And when the Nigerian military raids illegal oil operations, they slash containers, releasing oil into waterways, contaminating what the main source of fishing, agriculture, and drinking water.
As the government continues its assault on illegal refineries and barges carrying stolen oil, local militias are retaliating. And one of the most notorious militias is the Niger Delta Avengers. They attack pipelines and infrastructure, significantly affecting both the environment and the economy.
VICE correspondent Gianna Toboni heads to the heart of Nigeria's oil production to witness firsthand the fight over the control of oil in the Niger Delta.

Who on Earth is exposed to the most ionizing radiation?
Check out Audible: http://bit.ly/AudibleVe
I'm filming a documentary for TV about how Uranium and radioactivity have shaped the modern world. It will be broadcast in mid-2015, details to come. The filming took me to the most radioactive places on Earth (and some places, which surprisingly aren't as radioactive as you'd think). Chernobyl and Fukushima were incredible to see as they present post-apocalyptic landscapes. I also visited nuclear power plants, research reactors, Marie Curie's institute, Einstein's apartment, nuclear medicine areas of hospitals, uranium mines, nuclear bomb sites, and interviewed numerous experts.
Notes about measuring radiation:
Sieverts are a measure of 'effective dose' - that means they measure the biological impact of the energy transferred to tissues from radiation.
Obviously I owe a debt to the fantastic chart made by xkcd, which inspired my visual approach to this video.
https://xkcd.com/radiation/
DOSES MAY VARY
The level of radiation varies widely around the world depending mainly on altitude and geology (excluding nuclear accidents).
Estimates of particular doses also vary. All numbers reported in this video should be taken as order of magnitude only.
The most contentious claim may be that smokers receive the highest dose of ionizing radiation. This is not a whole body dose, but a dose to the lungs as specified in the video. References are here:

역사적인 남북 아이스하키대결…빙판 녹인 감동의 '통일 염원'
The diplomatic relationship between South and North Korea continues to sour, but on Thursday night, those differences were put to one side, as an ice-hockey match between the two took place in the South's Gangwon-do province.
Kwon Jang-ho was there to witness the historic match and filed this report.
Two Koreas, one rink.
In a rare sporting contest between two sides technically still at war with each other, the South and North Korean women's ice hockey teams faced-off at the Gangneung Hockey Center on Thursday.
It's the first time in three years that any athlete from the North has stepped foot on this side of the inter-Korean border, and the contest has been hotly anticipated.
Another ballistic missile test carried out by Pyongyang earlier this week once again brought a dark cloud over the relationship, but that tension couldn't be found here.
"Several thousand spectators have come to watch this rare inter-Korean clash. Of course there are no supporters who have come from North Korea, but what's noticeable is that the crowds are not only cheering for the home team."
Many in the audience waved symbolic flags of a unified Korea -- as North Korean flags are banned in the South -- while singing and chanting songs of unification.
There are many of our supporters, so it felt right to support North Korea. By cheering them on, it will hopefully give them strength.
We are the same people so we should support both sides. We are one nation divided and I wanted my children to understand and experience that first hand.
It was a physical and nervy game, but South Korea came out comfortable three-nothing winners.
Although the disappointment was evident on the faces of the North Korean players, they were gracious in defeat, leaving a memorable impression on the audience and the South Korean players.
"We are the same people, so to have had this duel here in Korea like this, makes me feel proud and good."
"I was definitely a little more nervous for this game. I mean like you said, it is North Korea, so it's kind of more of a rivalry, so to say. So yea it definitely did feel...prepared a little different for this game but also trying to treat it like any other."
A coincidence in international sporting schedules means another North-South clash is set to take place.
The South Korean women's football team is currently in Pyongyang playing in the Asian Cup qualifiers, and will face the North Korean team on Friday.
It'll be the first inter-Korean football match in North Korea for 27 years.
Despite the ongoing geopolitical conflict between the two countries, sport continues to act as a meeting ground where the people from the two sides can connect.

THE SMILING ASSASSIN - Lyrics
Who is going to arrest that man? the smiling assassin
and who is going to address his plan and suppress his hand?
lock him up and throw away the KEY
We were too busy with the shake, rattle and roll
we forgot to throw the snake back in the hole
we're too busy with the wop bop a loo bop and wop bam boom
we forgot to put the top on the shop box and lock that room
we were too busy with the bomp shoo wop wop and ramalama ding dong
we need to stop the clock and turn the grammar jammer thing on
we were too busy with the hip hop body rockin doin the do
we need to flip flop their shoddy plot and - ruined the coup
I shape this ink to try and make you think
skating rink - shrinking lake we can skate or sink
start to take steps to change - the more sense it makes
heart ache swept the brain of all dense mistakes
a lie becomes inscribed when scrums are re-enacted
playing tribe against tribe - bribes - guns and blankets
government still finances our listening choices
under a guise, while silencing dissident voices
in an attempt to shut me down and remove my rights
you will lose the fight cos you will prove I'm right
people choose the light cause we suffer inside
when we got nothing to lose well we've got nothing to hide
and 'U S A - get the fuck out of our town...'
John Key is evil, but his act is nice
we're not free - we people are his sacrifice
They appoint a prime minister - a leader and chief
and to make the crime sinister - cease freedom of speech
then feed on the weak and those eager to teach
grant deeds plant weeds and beleaguer the beach
a seizure of public land reveals a gluttonous chase
under hand deals - a cover up in the place
they're scheming to control us and poison our lands
they've got black sand, coal dust and oil on their hands
untapped resources and lush titanium sands
unmapped shore lines and grand subterranean plans
the Australian banks and the hidden agenda
the alien scams and the risen pretenders
oops, gone off topic -- where was I?- cheater
john key = investment banker = quasi leader
with cork screw support crew flawed with short cuts
take a walk thru -- you ought to, before the port shuts
I was hoping last time would be the last open cast mine
I hope to start chimes, throw the rope and cast lines
(they've) broken vast binds, they're like choking grass vines
the over-pass winds from upper class lies to master minds
with pass times is half lies -- a true real plan
their prize is minerals and to prize it out of New Zealand
and while we are focused on the earthquake ruin
bureaucratic locusts prepare a first rate do-in
john key is borrowing a multi billion dollar blank check
translated - probably a trillion dollar bank debt
with interest - every worker must pay back
hello slaves! - you work to just pay tax
I just say facts -- they bail us = they own us
and every generation on -- our failure is our onus
and your donkey -- well he sold you short
you didn't see it cos you were too involved in sport
Who is going to arrest that man? - the smiling assassin
who is going to suppress his plan -- and trial him for treason

Who knew that being so low could keep your head held up so high?

For the first time in decades, it's hard to ignore the threat of nuclear war. But as long as you're far from the blast, you're safe, right? Wrong. In this sobering talk, atmospheric scientist Brian Toon explains how even a small nuclear war could destroy all life on earth -- and what we can do to prevent it. A professor in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at the University of Colorado-Boulder, Brian Toon investigates the causes of the ozone hole, how volcanic eruptions alter the climate, how ancient Mars had flowing rivers, and the environmental impacts of nuclear war. He contributed to the U.N.’s Nobel Peace Prize for climate change and holds numerous scientific awards, including two NASA medals for Exceptional Scientific Achievement. He is an avid woodworker. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

Every day the Government is working to build a stronger economy so that we can help Australia’s families and small businesses.
A stronger economy means more investment, more exports and more jobs. Everyone benefits.
Now, with the return of Parliament on Tuesday, the Government is continuing to put in place the policies that are part of our Economic Action Strategy.
These policies are already making it easier for businesses to compete and to employ more people.
In the last week of Parliament, we scrapped the carbon tax – and the benefits are already filtering through with working with the Senate to scrap the mining tax – a tax that’s raised little yet costs much.
We will cut company tax – making it easier for many small businesses and our record $50 billion infrastructure programme is underway. This programme means that major works are happening in our cities and regional areas.
And because jobs depend on major investments, we’re clearing the backlog of environmental approvals – with approvals already provided for $800 billion in new projects since the election.
The Government is also opening the door to more trade and more jobs – with free trade agreements with partners like Japan and Korea – and we are working on an agreement with our largest trading partner of all, China.
We are continuing to repair the Budget – because I don’t want to see our children saddled with a debt that robs them of their futures.
We owe it to them – to live within our means; to invest in our future and to get spending under control.
Australia has now had 23 years of economic growth – it is a remarkable achievement that owes so much to the economically responsible decisions of the Hawke and Howard governments. This Government is continuing that tradition of supporting sensible and reforming policies so that we can build a stronger and more prosperous economy for the benefit of every Australian.

Longyearbyen on Svalbard is the northernmost settlement with over 1000 residents
My trip to Norway was funded by Screen Australia, Film Victoria and Genepool Productions as part of a new project. More information soon.

Come take a walk with me around Longyearbyen, the largest town on the Norwegian islands of Svalbard.
Parts of it look familiar, but make no mistake, this place is different.
At 78 degrees North, it lies just 800 miles or 1300 kilometres from the North Pole. And with over 2,000 permanent inhabitants it is the Northernmost real town on Earth.
There are only 50km of road, including the small streets between houses, so people get around the island mainly on snowmobile.
In fact there are more registered snowmobiles than residents.
Anyone leaving town is required to travel with a gun and someone who knows how to use it because the islands are also home to polar bears.
The average daytime high is below freezing for all but four months of the year, and from the end of October to mid-February the sun doesn’t rise at all. This is the long polar night.
Living here is tough. This past December an avalanche in town destroyed 10 homes, which used to be here, killing two people.
So how did this cold, remote, ice-covered archipelago come to be inhabited?
The hills around town are rich in coal deposits that have been mined for over 100 years.
The coal was transported to the port via a series of aerial tramways some of which remain today, though they are no longer operational.
Coal is a reminder that Svalbard was not always an Arctic ice world. 360 million years ago it was actually in the tropics North of the equator. A swampy area, it was covered with the precursors to modern ferns, which were much larger than they are today, reaching 10-30 metres in height.
This vegetation was then covered in mud and sand and submerged under the sea. Over time it turned into the coal deposits that in the 20th century brought miners from Norway, Russia, and the US.
Most of the coal mines have now closed and the economy is gradually shifting towards tourism, education and research.
Tourists take trips on snowmobiles and dog sleds.
There is a university centre in Svalbard, which offers semester courses in biology, physics and geology.
And up on the side of a mountain is the Svalbard Global seed vault… but that’s a story for another time.
The locals tell me that interest in the region from different nations is increasing.
As the globe warms and Arctic ice shrinks, trade routes are opening up across the North. And Svalbard is strategically placed between North America, Asia and Europe.
One day in the future Svalbard may no longer be as cold or remote as it once was.
But for now it is a reminder of how through our ingenuity people can live in the most inhospitable of places.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
Season 2 x Episode 26
A Canterlot Wedding Part 2
Credits go to Daniel Ingram for composing the song.

Lyrics:
This day is going to be perfect
The kind of day of which I dreamed since I was small
Everypony will gather round
Say I look lovely in my gown
What they don't know is that I have fooled them all.
This day was going to be perfect
The kind of day of which I dreamed since I was small
But instead of having cake
With all my friends to celebrate
My wedding bells they may not ring for me at all.
I could care less about the dress
I won't partake in any cake
Vows, well I will be lying when I say
That through any kind of weather
I'll want us to be together
The truth is I don't care for him at all
No I do not love the groom
In my heart there is no room
But I still want him to be all mine.
We must escape before its too late
Find a way to save the day
Hope, I'll be lying if I say
I don't fear that I may lose him
To one who wants to use him
Not care for love and cherish him each day
For I oh-so love the groom
Oh my thoughts he does consume
Oh Shining Armor, I'll be there very soon.
Finally the moment has arrived
For me to be one lucky bride.
Oh, the wedding we won't make
He'll end up marrying a fake
Shining Armor will be
Mine, all mine!

Its good news for energy-starved India as the Modi Government inked a civilian nuclear supply deal with Australia. The deal will ensure the country can now import Uranium which will go a long way in meeting India's raw material demands for future needs. PM Modi calls it a historic moment for India, listen in.
